Past event: Counter UAS Technology USA Conference

We are delighted to announce the 3rd annual Counter UAS Technology USA Conference taking place in Arlington, VA on the 5th and 6th of December 2023.

Building off the back of a sell-out 2022 event, Counter UAS Technology USA  2023 will return to Arlington, VA once again showcase the very latest technology in the market to ensure that DoD personnel, equipment and infrastructure are protected from the proliferation of drones.

With the release of President Biden Administration's Domestic Counter-Unmanned Aircraft Systems National Action Plan in April 2022, and the new Counter UAS legislation - 'Safeguarding the Homeland from the Threats Posed by Unmanned Aircraft Systems Act of 2023'- it is evident that countering the threat of sUAS has become a key priority for the US.

Modernizing the US C-sUAS capabilities is therefore critical to enable the DoD and Military to protect personnel, assets and locations from the proliferation of illegal and hostile drones.

Counter UAS Technology USA 2023 will facilitate discussions surrounding C-sUAS priorities, challenges and solutions, offering a well-rounded agenda with presentations from key DoD and US military service branches, as well as briefings from leading industry solution providers developing innovative technologies to assist in countering the threat of UAS.
